DISCIPLE: Master, if I ask you a question, will you tell me the God-honest truth?MASTER: Of course, my child, of course.
DISCIPLE: Before you realised God, did you have any occasion to disobey God?
MASTER: My child, let me search my brain. Give me some time.
DISCIPLE: Master, even forty years ago when I told you a lie, I still remember it. How is it that you do not remember whether you have told God a lie or not? You say that you can read our past lives like an open book. How is it that you do not remember what you did?
MASTER: My child, in the process of my spiritual awakening, spiritual experiences and highest realisation, I gave up telling lies to God and definitely NOT when I was on the verge of God-realisation.
